Care Packages for the Homeless and Black Nativity

Don't forget to get others to sign up for donating to the Care Packages for the Homeless drive.  The shortened link for easy sharing is tinyurl.com/homelesspacks

FAQs:

  • Can other things can be donated besides those on the list? YES. As long as it is something that can fit inside the gallon size zip-lock bag.
  • Can people outside of Mount Pilgrim can donate? YES! I have an SIS (Sister in Spirit) who lives in Florida and she is sending donations by mail. 
  • Can people donate money instead? We'd prefer not to gather funds at this time. Perhaps in a future drive we will be set up for that. This time it's about putting your feet and hands to work in the Lord's service. Handling money at this time may take away from the focus of giving. Let's make this a successful drive so that it becomes a tradition in celebrating the REAL reason Christ was incarnated in flesh. Please come out and help us assemble the bags on December 10, 2019 during Sisterhood meeting. You don't have to be a regular attendee or a female to be present and help.
  • How will you get the packs to the homeless? There are a couple of very generous men for whom the welfare of the homeless is a personal ministry. The packets will be delivered to one or both of their organizations. Perhaps later we can go out in groups and hand deliver. It's 
  • How was the list of items devised? Not only do I have friends who make packets, I researched things needed for homeless packets. The items asked for occur on most lists I found.
  • Will the SignUp Genius web site use my email address for marketing? No. You should only receive an automatic reminder from the program. Unless you leave a question in the comments which comes to the drive author --me-- for me to reply to you. My reply will come to your mailbox without my seeing your email address.

If you should have a question or concern about our Care Packages for the homeless drive, please place them in the comments section below this post.
